System Overview

EDGE system is an agricultural site management system designed to monitor and control a farm environ-

ment. EDGE system is designed to be permanently connected to the main voltages by the Expansion

Boxes. EDGE system could be monitored and controlled remotely by Ethernet (Wide Area Network

(WAN) by Internet provider) or / and controlled locally by LAN (Local Area Network) or WLAN1(Wireless

Local Area Network).1

The main functions of the complete system are:

• Animal environment control functions: temperature controlling (cooling, heating, humidity control-

ling), lightning, ventilation controlling

• Variety of monitoring functions (configurable inputs: 0-5V, 4-20mA, pulse, dry contact, temperature

• Feeding functions: food distribution and controlling

• Scale functions: measuring the weight of the birds (Bird scale), measuring the weight of storage

food (Bin scale)

• Production surveillance and alert functions: emails sending

The minimum EDGE system is composed of a Main Controller and Expansion Boxes (I/O modules) which

are described below:

Main Controller

The Main Controller is the “brains” of the EDGE system. It includes a CPU and a capacitive color LCD

touch screen which allows the user to monitor and control the system’s status and functionalities. The

Main Controller has Ethernet ports, an Ethernet Wireless option (WLAN at 2.4 /5 GHz) , USB ports for

data storage or to connect external USB module, an alarm relay, RS485 links to communicate to Expan-

sion Plug-In Modules in the Expansion Box. It can be electrically supplied either by the Expansion Box

through the RS485 communication networks low voltage communication cables (24Vdc), or by an exter-

nal power supply (EDGE PSU 24V 36W).

890–00687 EDGE 2 5

1. In some countries the WiFi link is not available because of regulation restriction due to not having the country telecommu-

nication certification.

Chapter 1: Introduction

Figure 1-1 Redundancy Scheme

Expansion Boxes

The Expansion Boxes are supplied using the mains electrical supply. The Expansion Boxes communicate

with the system’s Main Controller via RS485 through low voltage (24Vdc) communication cables (Auto-

mation and Safety). Multiple Expansion Boxes can be used in one EDGE system. These Expansion

Boxes are designed to accommodate various electronic cards (Expansion Plug-in Modules), each

designed for different monitoring/control applications. Two different Expansion Boxes are available: 6-

Slot Expansion Box and 3-Slot Expansion Box. These two Expansion Boxes are very similar in construc-

tion and differ only in terms of enclosure size, number of electronic card modules they can accommodate

(6 Expansion Plug-in Modules for the 6-Slot, 3 Expansion Plug-in Modules for the 3-Slot).

Furthermore, both Expansion Boxes can accommodate up to 4 Solid State Relay modules (EDGE Varia-

ble Outputs) mounted on a heat sink in the back of the Expansion Box enclosure.

Items Description

6–Slot Expansion Box Consists of inputs and outputs. This enclosure can contain up to 6 plug-in modules

External Modules Overview

External modules can be added to the basic EDGE system to extend its functionality by the RS485 links

(Automation or Safety).

EDGE RS485 Repeater

The EDGE RS485 Repeater allows you to extend the RS485 network and can also be used to add the

RS485 to different networks (T-Branch and H-Branch).

EDGE PSU 24V 36W

EDGE PSU 24V 36W is an external module which supplies external modules (EDGE Bin Scale, EDGE

Bird Scale, EDGE 2 Main Controller, EDGE 2 Controller Screenless, EDGE 2 Remote Display) in case

the Expansion Box power budget does not allow connexion directly on the EDGE Expansion Box.

EDGE Bin Scale (EDGE Bin Scale 3 Wires LC, EDGE Bin Scale 4 Wires LC

TB)

EDGE Bin Scale is an external module which allows the capability to collect and to analyze the weight of

feed in the bin. The module ensures the uninterrupted distribution of feed.

data that come from the bird scales.

EDGE Power Module

EDGE Power Module is a variable outputs external module. The module allows the increasing of the

number of variables outputs on EDGE system. EDGE Power Module could contain up to 4 variables mod-

ules (EDGE Variable Output (SSR)). The 0-10Vdc outputs from Expansion Boxes control the variables

modules. The EDGE Power Module could be controlled by EDGE 8IN-4V-6REL FAILSAFE or EDGE 4IN-

12V.

NOTE: The EDGE 4IN-12V can control up to 12 EDGE Variable Outputs, therefore it can control up to 3

EDGE Power Modules.

EDGE 2 Remote Display

EDGE 2 Remote Display is a remote which displays data on its screen from the main system by Ethernet

ports or allow the control of another EDGE 2 Main Controller. The EDGE 2 Remote Display is supplied by

24Vdc: Expansion Box or EDGE PSU 24V 36W. The EDGE 2 Remote display is optional and it is not

mandatory to use it in the EDGE network. EDGE 2 Remote Display replaces wireless or cellular devices

to control remotely locally.

Expansion Box Nomenclature

Expansion Boxes come with or without variable output modules (SSR). If there are no variable output

modules (SSR) in the Expansion Box (3-Slot Expansion Box, 6-Slot Expansion Box), the plastic enclosure

does not have an external heat sink on it.

3-Slot Expansion Box model with a Heat sink: EDGE 3-SLOT BOX W/HSK or E3PH-_-____

3-Slot Expansion Box model without a Heat sink: EDGE 3-SLOT BOX or E3PN-_-____

6-Slot Expansion Box model with a Heat sink: EDGE 6-SLOT BOX W/HSK or E6PH-_-____

6-Slot Expansion Box model without a Heat sink: EDGE 6-SLOT BOX or E6PN-_-____

The Expansion Box (3-Slot Expansion Box, 6-Slot Expansion Box) part numbering is defined as follows:

10 890–00687 EDGE 2

Chapter 1: Introduction

Power supply: The 3-Slot Expansion Box can have either a 60W or 120W power supply. The 6-Slot

Expansion Box has only a 120W power supply.

The variable output number is the number of variable output modules (SSR) installed in the Expansion

Box.

A heatsink comes with a variable output installation.

If a 3-Slot Expansion Box is ordered, the number of the plug-in modules is limited to three.

The following are two examples of Expansion Box numbers

• E3PH-1-C004

• E6PH-2-AAAACE4

:

EDGE Variable Output (SSR)

This Variable Output was designed to efficiently and precisely control variable speed fans and multiple

dimmable light systems.

Features

• Three variable modes:

890–00687 EDGE 2 11

Chapter 1: Introduction

— Default mode

— Variable 1 Mode: for more accurate speed control of variable speed fans

— Variable 2 Mode : for enhanced control of dimmable lights.

NOTE: These modes can be set into the EDGE equipment configuration page with EDGE soft-

ware version 2.4.3. Mode selection is Default with existing configurations Default varia-

ble Mode will be Variable 1 for fans and Variable 2 for light with new configurations.

• Integration of the current sensing inside the module. No more need for the current sensor board

(045-11506).

• This new module needs a new cable harness. This one is not compatible with the previous version

(135-00021).

The EDGE variable output activates the output according to the voltage applied on the 0-10V input. The

control is done with a voltage between 3V to 10V. The proportion between the voltage input and the AC

output may change as per the mode set.

The EDGE variable output can be set in different mode according to the purpose. A voltage must be

applied between 2V and 3V during at least one second to activate a mode. Please note that these config-

urable modes are not yet supported by the EDGE system. By default, if no mode is set, the module will

work as a SSR of Crydom (CY7913).

2.6 ±0.15V This mode shall be used with light bulb (incandescent, ccfl, cfl and

led) control. Use Crydom SSR CY7913 curve.

Compensation

The compensation is used with fan. The compensation is working if the voltage is in the range of 190VAC

to 260VAC. A change on the AC supply voltage will be compensated to keep the fan speed (and CFM as

well). When compensation is activated, use a 240VAC curve in the EDGE controller.

Current Sensing

The current sensor is integrated in the EDGE Variable output. The current sensor also enables a feature

to detect “dead short” (error in wiring, L2 connected in the LOAD terminal per example or shorted LOAD).

If this event happens, the EDGE Variable output will shut off (to protect itself). A red LED on the module

will go steady ON to indicate the fault. To reset the fault, the 0-10V input must return to 0V.

Safety Messages

DANGER

Turn off the main electrical disconnect switch prior to servicing any of the boxes.

Failure to do so might lead to serious injury or death.

Always use extreme caution when measuring voltage or performing procedures that require a

module to be powered on.

Electrostatic Discharge Prevention When Manipulating a Printed Circuit

Board (PCB)

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD damage occurs

when electronic components are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures.

Always follow ESD on a PCB-prevention procedures when you remove and replace components. Ensure

that the chassis is electrically connected to earth ground. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring

that it makes good skin contact. Connect the grounding clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame

to safely ground unwanted ESD voltages. To guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and

cord must operate properly. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the

chassis.

For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between 1 and

10 megohm (Mohm).

WARNING

The radio module (M7DB6 )circuit board is electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive.

ESD precautions must be observed when handling and installing these components.

Damage Inspection

Your system and its components were carefully inspected both electrically and mechanically before ship-

ment. After unpacking all items, check for any obvious signs of physical damage that may have occurred

during transit. Report any damage to the shipping agent immediately. Save the original box for possible

future shipment.

Returning the Unit for Repair

If you must return the system for repair, carefully package the system in its original box or an equivalent.

Contact your local customer service department to get return instructions. Have on hand the system’s

serial number and date code found on the system’s main board. See Contact Information/Support in this

manual.

Ordering Information

Basic System

A minimum redundant basic EDGE 2 System consists of the following equipment:

• 1 x EDGE 2 Main Controller (Master)

• 1 x EDGE 2 Main Controller (Redundant) or EDGE 2 Screenless Controller (Redundant)

• 2 x EDGE Expansion Boxes or 1 x Expansion Box and 1 x External Power Supply of 150W on

Safety Network

The following external modules can be connected to a basic EDGE 2 System to add more functionality:

• EDGE RS485 Repeater

• EDGE Bin Scale

Chapter 1: Introduction

• EDGE Bird Scale

• EDGE Power Module

• EDGE 2 Remote Display

• EDGE 2 Controller Screenless

• EDGE Weather Station

• EDGE 4IN-2V-8DO

System Building

EDGE 2 Controller Screenless

The EDGE 2 Controller Screenless can be used only as a Redundant Main Controller in a redundancy

system scheme.

NOTE: Use only Ethernet cables with EDGE 2 Controller Screenless for Ethernet network. The router

must have DHCP function when using this type of controller.

EDGE 2 Remote Display

Use the EDGE PSU 24V 36W to power the EDGE 2 Remote Display. This will make sure the EDGE

Expansion Box power supply is not overcharged. The EDGE 2 Remote Display needs an EDGE 2 Main

Controller to control the EDGE system indirectly. An EDGE network without a Main Controller is

impossible.

WAN\LAN\WLAN Network

Ethernet network components are not provided. Ensure to purchase network components according to

the implemented technology: Wireless, Cabled, and Cellular.

Installation Options:

The LAN network can be setup to reach outside Ethernet cables or wirelessly using a Cellular based net-

work to reach an Ethernet service provider (WAN).

Depending on the option you choose, the planning and installation will be different for an Ethernet setup,

make sure there is access to high speed Internet.

Redundant Controller and LAN\WLAN Network

You can setup a redundant Main Controller, in case the Main Controller Master fails. Use of a redundant

Main Controller will determine its communication scheme:

• Redundant Main Controller using internally wired Ethernet (LAN) network

• Redundant Main Controller using internally wireless Ethernet (WLAN)

• Redundant Main Controller using Cellular network

Redundant Power Supply

The EDGE 2 System uses a redundant power supply

The maximum distance of the DC power cable is 500ft (150m) using a wire gauge of 16AWG from the

first EDGE Expansion Box to the last EDGE 2 Controller on the EDGE network. Over this distance, use

an EDGE PSU 24V 36W to supply power to the EDGE 2 Controllers. In this case, do not use the 24Vdc

from the EDGE Expansion Box.
